If you didn’t get to hear about state Rep. Randy Hunt’s jazz-tinged fundraiser held last night [June 30] at the Sandwich Glass Museum, the blame is ours. Hunt sent out notices early last week, and we were fascinated to learn that a jazz concert with a student of top-flight trumpeter Clark Terry was part of the bill.

Unfortunately, we mislaid the notice and lost the opportunity to mention the event. Too bad, because the performance by Tony Lujan is just the beginning of the story.

Hunt said last week that he played with Lujan in the New Mexico State Jazz Band in the 1970s, when both he and Lujan met guest soloist Terry. He said Lujan moved to Bourne more than a decade ago, about the same time he moved to Sandwich.

Hunt, a trombone major back in the day, said he played electric bass in the “A” jazz band and planned to break out his fretless bass at his fundraiser last night.
